And just like that… Yellowstone 2026 is in the books. 🦬🏔️

We closed out our adventure with two unforgettable nights at the iconic Old Faithful Inn—but we weren’t exactly ready to slow down yet.

We day-hiked to Lone Star Geyser, where we watched an incredible eruption and shot some fun photos. We explored the Firehole River, enjoyed the violin player at the Inn, and watched Old Faithful erupt multiple times from multiple viewpoints.

And then we wrapped up the week the best way possible: with a Team Yellowstone Awards Ceremony! 🏆

Hosted by the entire group, each of us took a moment to recognize another team member for their accomplishments, growth, and strengths throughout the week. It was funny, heartfelt, and the perfect reminder that the best part of adventure isn’t always the places you go—it’s the people you share it with. ❤️

Ready to get off the boardwalk and into the backcountry?

Our 2027 Yellowstone Adventure is July 10–17! 🥾🔥

More details are coming soon, and spots will be limited. Trip includes: 6 hikers, 2 guides, co-ed, all ages 21+ welcome! DM us to learn more or email [email protected] to get on the list.

One year ago today, I completed my Appalachian Trail thru-hike.

2,200 miles. Georgia to Maine. One sloppy, wet, foot in front of the other.

I thought finishing the Appalachian Trail would be about reaching this very moment.

But somewhere along those 2,200 miles, the trail gave me something much bigger than a finish line. It taught me to simplify my life. To be intentional about where I spend my time and energy. To appreciate the little things. To put down the phone, step away from the screens, and remember that some of the best moments in life happen when you’re completely present for them.

Now I get to share those lessons and experiences with others through Trail Dog & Company. Every time I lead a group down a trail and see a client stop and simply take in a view, I’m reminded all over again why I fell so deeply in love with this life.

I couldn't have made it to Katahdin without my incredible friends, family, tramily, and the amazing trail angels who showed up with kindness, food, rides, hugs, and exactly what I needed when I needed it most. You were part of every mile.

And especially to my supportive husband, who never once doubted me and ended every phone call with the same words:

“Hike like a maniac.”

So I did. 😂

One year later, I'm still hiking like a maniac—and I wouldn't have it any other way.

There’s something special about experiencing both the frontcountry and the backcountry in Yellowstone.

We started by taking in the iconic views along the rim of the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone before leaving the crowds behind and hiking down into the canyon to call it home for the next two nights. The steep terrain and challenging switchbacks tested us, but this group showed up for one another every step of the way. Strangers became teammates almost instantly—offering encouragement, sharing laughs, and making sure no one ever felt alone on the trail.

This trip was full of firsts. Some clients conquered a fear of heights. Others slept in a tent for the very first time. Watching those moments of growth and confidence is one of the most rewarding parts of guiding.

At Trail Dog & Company, our backcountry trips are about so much more than hiking. We teach practical wilderness skills like water filtration, proper food storage and bear hangs, Leave No Trace bathroom practices, and how to safely and confidently travel in the backcountry. Most importantly, we create space to unplug, disconnect from the noise of everyday life, and reconnect with nature—and yourself.

A huge thank you to my incredible co-guide, Tony of Yellowstone Wilderness Edventures, for sharing his knowledge, expertise, and passion throughout this adventure. It was a privilege to guide alongside you and help create an unforgettable experience for this amazing group.

Here’s to new adventures, lifelong friendships, and discovering you’re capable of more than you ever imagined.

Yellowstone 2026: Beyond the Boardwalks 🦬🏔️

Last week, we kicked off the 2026 Trail Dog & Company season with one of our favorite adventures—our Yellowstone: Beyond the Boardwalks trip! And this one is extra special because it’s our only co-ed, backcountry adventure.

We started with two nights at the historic Roosevelt Lodge Cabins, where we settled in and quickly got into the Yellowstone spirit. After dinner, we hit the road for an evening wildlife drive through the Lamar Valley. And the bison did not disappoint! 🦬 We had so much fun watching wildlife as the sun went down and experiencing one of Yellowstone’s most iconic landscapes.

The next day brought more exploring, this time at Mammoth Hot Springs, before we started shifting gears and preparing for the backcountry portion of our adventure.

That evening, we played a fun game to determine the choosing order for our dehydrated meals. Because when you’re heading into the backcountry, choosing your dinner is serious business! 😂

Trail Dog & Company provides all of your backcountry meals and snacks so you don’t have to worry about planning, packing, or preparing your own food while we’re out there.

After all…food is love, and we LOVE our clients! ❤️

This trip was the perfect combination of wildlife, adventure, incredible scenery and people, lots of laughs, and a little time getting off the beaten path—exactly what Trail Dog & Company is all about.
